Would you continue a relationship after two months if the person moved far away?


My sister and her boyfriend have been long distancing for a few months now and he’s coming with us to Japan (this’ll be the first time we’re meeting him). My brother and his girlfriend have been long distance dating ever since they moved away for college (which their colleges were on two completely different sides of Washington State) and now that they’re both graduated, my brother is thinking of proposing within the next few years. My parents were apart for a year of their 1.5 year relationship before they got married. My mom lived in Japan and my dad lived in New York (upstate) and this was before computers and cell phones. (1/2)
They’ve now been married for 33 years and still have the letters they wrote to each other. Needless to say, long distance relationships have a history of working out for my family, so yeah, if I really trusted and loved my boyfriend and he had to move far away for one reason or another, I’d continue dating him. Long distance relationships can work, they just take patience, planning, and a whole lot of trust (2/2)
Permanently? And they left me behind? No… temporary relocate for work, maybe (depending on length)
Thanks for mh
1. Is it feasible for us to travel and see each other at least every other weekend?
2. Is the move temporary and she will be returning to my area after a few months or a year?
3. How long have we been dating? Dating exclusively?
4. Are we at the point of me deciding that she is The One, or she is NOT The One?
5. In my mind, do I think of her as the girl I am dating now, or do I see her as the girl who is there in my future?
6. Are her feelings for me as strong as my feelings for her?
No. I let go of an awesome girl whom I dated for almost ten months (my record) because she moved to the East Coast for university while I am here on the opposite coast with my business.

Yes I have. As long as there’s consistency of communication and we’re both working towards a future together, I am all for it. LDRs don’t worry me.
If I had my stuff together and she had to move somewhere far away I'd say if we were really serious I'd just toss the knife in the dark and drop the question what would it take for me to get the green card and what cha do if I decided to just flat out tag along? This assumed she like was the one brave enough to drop the big question and get engaged pre having to move away. Its like well then lets yolo this if we already planning in the near future to hitch our lives together. Lets just do it now.
I already had a long distance relationship and it was physically painful. When you love someone, you NEED to touch them, if you can’t touch them, it feels like suffering. I thought I’d die. It really is suffering. I never wish I’d happen again. I might be clingy and probably it took a bigger affect on me, because I need to touch my partner and do so often.
No, I like my range to be close to home. Life is short. I can't spend half of it driving/or flying back and forth. However, that being said, you really don't know what you will do until it happens to you.

Hope your neighbors don't get all mad at you for picking all their roses.
So, Coach picks MHO for his friends. Seems to be a common deed here.
I won't be answering any more of your questions. You are fake!
Yeah. I got into a LDR. Due to my job and his flexible schedule and having money to travel to see each other… it worked and after 6 years. We both moved to a new state and got married. Worked out for us.
No. Not unless I had the intention to marry them - and that would just be until I was able to pack up and move with them.
I liked your answer here. It all depends on how serious the relationship is, right?
If you’re just starting to get to know each other, but you are absolute certain about them, it’s a huge risk.
But, if you already know for certain that you want to marry them, then it’s absolutely fine having an LDR if there’s no way around it for the time being.
Exactly. Couldn't have said it better!
We did and it wasn't easy to maintain our LDR.
So, we broke up.
Later on, we both realized we wanted each other back.
We made an effort to reunite and kept our pact to physically stay together.
I probably wouldn’t not. 2 months isn’t much in terms of me wiling to consider continuing a relationship that’s about to go international.
My partner and I were together for 1 year before we talking about his travelling back and forth.
If we could be together after a certain time yes. If not, then we probably would break up. Long distance relationships are hard to maintain and they can be very painful.
No. I would stay friends, but I would not keep it going. This has happened to me a few times, and it's never easy, but it's the best choice.
What is happening during these two months?
Are we still seeing each other and making plans for visits?
Did we have a discussion to end the relationship?
Why would you end something if there is no given reason to end it?
After I broke up with my ex girlfriend of 4 years that lived 1500miles away I made a hundred miles rule. I would not get involved with anyone who lived more than a hundred miles away.
Yes sure would it usually ends 6 to 8 months after the spark fades or a year when they meet someone else
If someone leaves you behind, you aren't important to them. So no. There must have been another solution.
Depends. If we're an old love yes, if we have history yes, but if we just met? Honestly as adults we know it not going to work. Best part ways in good terms before ldr takes it's toll
I am not a fan of long distance relationships. it denies both sides intimacy.
Yea long as we live in the same place again within the next 6-12 mths
I would not. If they went for work, alright maybe a couple months but what's that going to become? The only other exception would be if I moved along, yet I have too much pride for that to ever happen.
1-2 months is nothing so of course I would. I’m going to continue the relationship even if it was for a year and I don’t know if the girl was fighting for her country and her own life. Boom shots fired
This question was selected as Great? This sounds like a lame romcom scenario. Obviously Gag picks up questions that drive traffic to the site, no matter how repetitive or generic they are.
moved or college? college has breaks but moved... bye bye.
No I don't like long distance relationships... I'm hands on
Maybe. Depends on way too many factors to list. But not an automatic no.
Id wait and see how it went , its possible but there are a number of things to consider in detail , like how often you will actually be able to see each other , thats pretty important. Are they planning on coming back or is it forever?
I think 2 months is too soon for that level of commitment. That said it depends on whether they have plans to come back or not etc.
I would try but it would probably fail anyway.
@exitseven Realist.
Yes I think I could. I'm already in a long distance relationship though we're not that far from each other but if we were states away or a country away, I think it could still work.
Not at my age. Too many issues and not enough money
Would I continue it? I wouldn’t have even started it.
Probably not unless she asked me to move with her.
Depending how strong that relationship is. Then yes 😀
No. I'd feel like I was unimportant if my SO moved away from me. That would be a sad ending.
Not a long distance relationship kind of guy. I would set them free rather than hold them down.
I would hope they would have had a discussion before leaving. If they just up and leave without discussing then it would seem the relationship isn't worth much to them
My wife moved ten thousand miles after 3 months. It took me a year to sell up to move down to be with her so we could get married
Probably not. I would depend on if she planned on returning soon afterward
If we had a close relationship that would be different but quite far with no closeness, not sure of it.
Nope. I would have to accept moving on. That is, unless their move is only temporary.
Nope, I'll kick her to the curb.
I don't do long distance thing.
Its local or not at all
Tabii ki ne kadar süreceğini merak ediyorum. Yani bir gelecek planlıyorsak ve bu 2-3 yıl içinde olacaksa tabii ki devam edeceğim. Ama 6-7 gibi bir zaman olursa çok çok zor.
It's no problem, I travel a lot for work so the ends could work out.
Yes, I would. That’s like asking whether I’d break up for the distance. When it comes to love, age and distance are just irrational numbers.
EASIER WITH SMART PHONES HOWEVER STILL ROUGH BUT DOABLE. I SEE MY BASHERT ABOUT A WEEK A MONTH DUE TO DISTANCE AND HER ACTIVITIES. IS OK
It depends on how long we were dating and if they were coming back
Not even after two days if they moved far away.
would break it off no time invested to have long distance relationship they dont fair well
Nope
Depends what what reason would be and how long is he planning to stay there
maybe not unless they were coming bact
Depends on how long we would be apart.
It depends on how far away.
Probably not. No
No, that would be a dealbreaker.
No way Jose'
Long distance relations never work.
yeah, if i loved him
yes i would
No, I wouldn't bother
It really depends on a lot of factors.
wish to take her with me? or move to her hometown
